Dietary Supplement Industry Contributes More than $60 Billion to National Economy

A new study funded by the Natural Products Foundation has found the total economic contribution of the dietary supplement industry to the U.S. economy is more than three times annual consumer sales, or $61 billion dollars per year. The study also showed that the dietary supplement industry has enough activity throughout production and sales to support more than 450,000 jobs, while industry concerns paid more than $10 billion dollars in taxes in 2006.

"Most industry assessments primarily focus on sales, but this is really just the tip of the iceberg," said Tracy Taylor executive director of the Natural Products Foundation. "The labor, materials, and technology necessary to move each product from a raw material to the final sale cause a whole spectrum of economic consequences."

FITNESS TIPS
Early Morning Workout Tips
by Kim Tobin
 
If you're looking to turn early morning workouts into a habit, here are some tips to get you moving out of dreamland and into your training zone.

It jump starts a healthy mindset for the day, keeps the appetite in check and leaves room to tackle your workday and evening activities, among other benefits.

Here are some ideas to make the morning your ally.
